Westchester County 2024 property tax as levied on Yonkers parcels — county rate $133.40 per $1,000 of assessed value (Westchester County 2024 Municipal County Tax Rates, Yonkers row; county purposes only, without the refuse and sewer district rates) × 1.79% = 2.388 mills on market value. 1.79% is Yonkers' final 2023 state equalization rate: the 2024 county tax is levied on the 2023 assessment rolls (the rate sheet's Yonkers taxable value, 465,411,451, matches the 2023 county equalization table and not the 2024 one). Corrected 2026-09-28 from 2.374, which used the 2024 roll's 1.78%. Two reviews agree on 2.388; a third could find no independent source for the county's rate alone.
